other cars will find themselves
prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law, police said.

BUILDING GOOD
SAYS EXPERT
While lumber and other build
ing materials prices maintained
a practically, level movement
during March and the first week
of April, prospective home build
ers are advised by Western
Homes foundation of rising emer
gency defense demands that may
affect supply of materials in the
next four months, a period which
William S. Knudsen has de
clared "might be crucial in the
whole history of the world."
"Latest estimates from the of
fice of production management
for total military and merchant
marine lumber requirements
amount to- 8,300,000 board feet.
In contrast to 8.000.000 feet used
for the same purposes in the
World war." states W. C. Bell,
foundation chairman. "From
28 to 34 new army cantonments
are projected. Seventy two thous
and eight hundred and three de
fense housing units have been
allocated. Seven hundred and
eighty four defense Industry
plants are in various stages of
expansion. Shipyard building
la being rushed, to complete the
scheduled construction of 3400
ships In the shortest possible
time. A great number of these
are wood ships, including 210
minesweepers requiring Doug
las fir keel timbers 108 feet in
length. In all these and many
other projects lumber is
'must' material, and they repre
sent tremendous demand for
other materials.
'The moral for the renting
family is 'build now,' while ma
terial are readily available and
prices are good. The labor de
partment s index of wholesale
; prices for the week ending April
3 shows a rise of only 0.3 point
in the previous month for build
ing materials, while two other
major necessities of everyday
life rose 4.3 and 4.6 points in the
same period. Lumber price de
creased in the week ending
April S. Thia was in the face
of the rapidly expanding defense
demand coupled with normal
spring increase in private build
ing. The tens of thousands of
buildlne
industry will continue to make
every effort to. maintain level
price movement and to supply
low-cost housing, but this in
dustry with others must give
national defense priority."
The "Treasure" home pattern
is offered by Western Homes
Foundation this week a another
in its series of minimum-cost
home designs. These were cre
ated by the building Industry
to serve in the defense housing
program. The exterior charm
and interior convenience of the
Treasure home are visualized in
the illustrated elevation and

corner window have been pro
vided for every room. Like

Tips From Garden Notebook
By A Klamath Gardener
Now is the time when most
garden-minded folk are visualiz
ing their summer gardens. And
little planning now will save
disappointment later. A really
pretty spring garden is a diffi
cult Job for the amateur gar
dener, and no snap for a lot of
us who consider that we have
had sufficient experience to get
better results. So many times it
seems that something is bound
to happen in our climate to spoil
our fondest hope for spring gar
den effects.
This year a lot of us rushed
the season a bit when we had
those lovely days early in March,
and seeds planted then, unless
they bad diligent cj-e, did not
do much. I have heard com
plaint that perennial that
should be looking 4nuch better
than they are. Just seem to be
standing stllL I think probably
the reason for this 1 that we
have depended on the moisture
that we should have had, and
which we usually get, but which
did not come this year. I have
heard discussions on the spring
flowering bulbs, especially
tulips, to the effect that they
seem to bud and start blooming
before they are more than a few
inches high. Have a number like
this myself, and have found that
the cause is probably because
the spring season has been so
dry, and then those cold windy
days did not help a bit.
In protected places, the bulbs
that have received sufficient
moisture seem to be a lovely
a ever. We can't all have the
protected spots so then the idea
would be to bring about these
conditions ourselves, and the
most important item is water. I
know most of us have had the
habit of depending on the
weather, but this year even if it
ha been cool and cloudy those
spring bulbs should be watered,
aa should also all the other
plant that have lived in the
garden all winter.
This is a good time to plan for
different garden effects and
make some note, so that an
other spring will find us with
suggestions, and bare soots may
be taken care of so that the ef
fect can be remedied this fall
when it is time to plant spring
flowering bulbs.
Spring is a period of bareness
and high lights. The reason for
this seeming high pitch is be
cause the trees and shrubs are
bare. They cast no shade and do j
isfy individual tastes and needs, i

not absorb any of the light, un
let a spring garden is so ar
ranged there is not the contrast
of light and shadow that makes
summer garden so charming
To bring this charm to spring
garden shadow must be pro
vided one way or another, not
only as a contrast and foil to the
high light but a background.
A evergreen and other
plant keep their shadows
at all times, it is a good idea to
plan to have something of this
sort. They may be used effec
tively as background material
whether a high or low effect is
desired.
Usually a natural effect is
much more charming in a sp. ..ig
garden than a more formal ef
fect. Alio there is much more
satisfaction in grouping types so
that there are masses of color
here and there, rather than
half dozen of one kind in one
place and another little dab
some place else so that larger
patches of something else and
background growth will over
balance the color effects.
